The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 217 Repelling the Chasing Soldiers
Li Yuan's eyes were very sharp, and he saw Guo Bang being trampled to death by the horse at a glance. He immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Guo Bang is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

Many soldiers under Guo Bang's command had already seen Guo Bang's death. They only had less than 2000 cavalry left, and Zhao Yun's flying cavalry was chasing after them. This situation made them continue to lose confidence completely, but they did not Surrender, choose to flee instead!

The cavalry at the front pulled the reins, and the horses immediately turned around and fled. The soldiers behind also followed the soldiers in front, knowing that no one would waste their lives in a hopeless war. Hitting it is a dead end, and no one wants to die.

More than 1000 cavalry gave up the pursuit and fled towards Chang'an. If they had no horses, they might surrender, but with horses they would have a chance to escape, so they gave up chasing Emperor Xian without any hesitation and chose to flee.

Li Yuan was also stunned. Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, he didn't expect that the enemy would run away as soon as he said it, so he had no time to react.Zhao Yun originally wanted to pursue the fleeing cavalry, but saw that the enemy army was scattered and it was very difficult to pursue, so he gave up this idea.

Everyone didn't expect to defeat Guo Bang's pursuers so easily, let alone Guo Bang's death like this, which really made them nervous.

After solving the pursuit, Li Yuan continued to lead the army forward, and it took less than an hour to catch up with the troops in front.

Seeing Li Yuan coming back so soon, Zhang Xiu was a little surprised, and couldn't help running over and asking, "Third Junior Brother, have you repelled the enemy?"

Li Yuan nodded, "That's right, they were all repelled."

"Why so fast? Didn't it mean that the enemy army had five thousand cavalry?" Zhang Xiu really couldn't understand how Li Yuan defeated five thousand cavalry within an hour.

"Although Guo Bang has a lot of cavalry, their combat effectiveness is very weak. After Guo Bang's death, the remaining soldiers did not have the confidence to continue fighting, and then fled." Li Yuan briefly talked about the process. In his opinion, Guo Bang's cavalry It's really weak, far worse than Lu Bu's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry.

"Okay..." Zhang Xiu felt very speechless. He had fought against Guo Si and Li Jue before. Zhang Xiu was both surprised and excited because he was far more powerful than Guo Bang, because he would be a general of Li Yuan's army in the future, and it was his dream to be able to lead a powerful army.

"General Li, Your Majesty wants to see you." Dong Cheng ran over, he was also a little surprised that Li Yuan came back so soon, and those soldiers seemed to have never experienced battle.

Li Yuan nodded and went to see Emperor Xian.

Emperor Xian was very comfortable all the way, because he didn't have to walk or sit on a horse, but sat in a sedan chair. Dong Cheng made a very luxurious sedan chair for him, and the space was big enough for him to lie in it. A servant carries the sedan chair, and another batch is changed every half an hour, which is really an imperial enjoyment.

Li Yuan went to the sedan chair and saluted Emperor Xian, "I don't know what your majesty wants to do with this humble minister?"

"General Li, I heard that you have repelled Guo Si's pursuers. Is this true?" Emperor Xian was a little worried that it was fake, and he felt resentment and fear towards Li Jue and Guo Si in his heart.

"To live up to His Majesty's expectations, I have already repelled them, and Guo Bang died on the spot."

"General Li is indeed a great general in the world. I will reward you well after I get down to Pi." Emperor Xian was very happy to hear that Guo Si died in battle. He had suffered many grievances at the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si, and now the enemy in his heart is dead. One, half of the revenge was avenged, and if he had a chance in the future, he would let Li Yuan send troops to attack Li Jue, and avenge him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Although Li Yuan said respectfully, he looked down on Emperor Xian very much in his heart. Emperor Xian just said that he would reward him, but now Emperor Xian has nothing, food and accommodation are all given by Li Yuan. If it is not for fame, Li Yuan would definitely not be so respectful to Emperor Xian. In his eyes, Emperor Xian was just a puppet, and his status was not important. Holding military power was equal to having power. As the saying goes, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss.

After repelling Guo Bang's pursuers, everyone was less nervous, and the speed of marching was a little slower. Zhao Yun was still in the vanguard to open the way for the army. Ji Ling led the Runan army in the rear, and Huang Zhong and Zhang Ji were in charge of guarding Emperor Xian.

Li Yuan suddenly thought of a very important person, that is Jia Xu. He clearly remembered that when Zhang Ji escorted Emperor Xian back to Luoyang, Jia Xu resigned from his original official position, broke away from Li Jue's influence, and later joined Duan Wei, a fellow villager. Jia Xu has always been well-known and admired by Duan Yan's army. Duan Yao is afraid that Jia Xu will seize his military power, so he respects Jia Xu on the surface, but in fact he is always on guard.

Jia Xu is extremely smart, with sharp eyesight, he has already seen what Duan Yan was thinking, he knew that Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu lacked counselors, so he bid farewell to Duan Yao and went to join Zhang Xiu, so now Jia Xu should be in the team.

Li Yuan patted his horse and walked to Zhang Xiu, "Brother, I heard that you have a very powerful adviser named Jia Xu, I wonder if he has followed?"

"How did Junior Brother know?" Zhang Xiu asked in amazement, Jia Xu had indeed joined him not long ago, and was his only adviser.

"I have heard of Jia Xu's name for a long time, and I admire him very much, so I pay special attention to him." Li Yuan could only talk nonsense.

"So that's the case, then let me introduce you to my junior brother." Zhang Xiu took Li Yuan to find Jia Xu. It turned out that Jia Xu had been hiding in the team, but he rarely showed up and did not reveal his identity, so everyone thought that He is one of the hundred officials.

After Zhang Xiu found Jia Xu, he saw that Jia Xu was talking with Hu Che'er, so he took Li Yuan over.

Hu Che'er is quite famous in "history". He is Zhang Xiu's confidant and has a very good relationship with Jia Xu. The halberd led to Dianwei's death in battle, indirectly caused Cao Ang to die in battle, and also changed the direction of Cao Wei. If Cao Ang did not die, it would not be Cao Pi's turn to succeed.

"Wen He, let me introduce you. This is my younger brother, General Li. He said he has admired you for a long time, and he came here to see you." Zhang Xiu introduced Li Yuan to Jia Xu.

When Jia Xu saw Li Yuan approaching, his eyes shone brightly, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly lowered his head, as if he was afraid that others would see his eyes. Hu Che'er beside him warmly talked to Li Yuan. Yuan said hello.

"General Li, I have admired your name for a long time. I have admired you for a long time. I heard that you are highly skilled in martial arts. Let's compete if you have time, hahahaha..." Hu Che'er took the initiative to talk.

"Hu Che'er, don't talk nonsense." Zhang Xiu hurriedly explained to Li Yuan, "Junior brother, don't misunderstand, Hu Che'er's character is just like this, he doesn't mean anything malicious."
